Is there any possibilities to add new menu "SELECT FOLDERS" when I have to select contact ringtones? I can only selected ringtones into folder /ringtone, but if I want to assign a mp3 into folder /xxxxx , I can't do it ( i have before save it - or copy it- into /ringtone and then i can assign to contact)
Easiest way i've found to add custom ringtones to contacts is to use ringo lite from the market, just put ya ringtones in their own ringtone folder

Ringtones and notifications go in the media/audio/ringtone or notification folder.
after you transfer the tones to your sdcard ,restart your phone , then open the app you want a tone for press menu->>settings->>ringtone/notification ..
hi ....
somebody tell me how to put a mp3 song like voice call ringtone in samsung captivate !!!
please !!!!! help !!
I created a "Media" folder on my sd card, then in that folder I created "Icons", "Music", "Notifications", "Pictures", "Ringtones", "Videos", and "Wallpapers". The folders are kinda self explanatory as to what goes where but I add my ringtones into the "Ringtones" folder. Then in the settings menu go to "Sound" then "Voice call ringtone" and choose your ringtone.
Use ringdroid, I have used it very successfully to set mp3s as ring tones.

SMS tone is set within the messaging app itself.
Open messages, select settings>notifications where you can set what you like.

If your phone is rooted copy the custom tone to the System/Media/Audio/Notifications folder.
If not rooted see if you have a Ringtones folder on your sdcard and if so copy the tone there and see if it then appears in the notifications list.
Either way may require a reboot before it appears.

If it's a song, can you do it from the Music player by selecting Set as ringtone in settings?
Go to the song you like in music player and press settings and "set as ringtone"

well thats the phone ringtone i'm talking about the text message one not the one that i play when somebody calls me. I want the one that play's when i recieve a text message
Create a folder called "Notifications" in the same place your Ringtones folder is on your internal SD card. That should take care of it.

This sent me round in circles for a while but there's a really simple solution.
Creating an appropriate Notifications folder as suggested elsewhere is a good idea, then find the mp3 (for example if you've added it to the phone) in ES File Explorer, open the file you'd like (with the ES audio player), then tap the options button (3 dots along the title bar), and from there you can "Set ringtone" - you can choose to set it as ringtone (calls), notification (messages) or alarm.

You could go to play store and download Ringo or Ringo pro.
You can customise a ring tone and a notification tone for every person in your phone book.

Constantly ring and vibrate your phone when SMS is received
The walk-around is to make the phone constantly ring and vibrate when an important message is received. I developed an app
that can ring the phone, like a normal phone call, when an important contact messages you.
Try it out to see if it works for you: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.textcall.app
Hey, my phone wasn't able to that as well but since I have a rooted phone, I can do pretty much everything that my phone doesn't handle and if you have a rooted phone you will be able to do this. Just install Root Explorer (if you don't find it in the play store just search on Google: Root Explorer apk) and download it. Now go to right section that says Storage and go to the directory where your mp3 ringtone file is. Copy or cut it and now go to System/media/audio/notifications and just paste it there! With the normal File Manager that it's in your phone won't work, so rooted phones really help!
Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone can please explain how to set an mp3 or any other custom audio file as the notification/sms alert tone?
Also... Is it possible to set custom SMS tones for each contact (in addition to the custom ringtone)?
Thanks for any help.

There are folders already on the phone for ringtones and you can set them via settings/sound/ringtone .. They show up there, at least they show fine for me.

What file format have you had success with? Any limit to file size or track length?

I use mp3, 320 kbps and the ones I use are about 30 seconds long, I have no idea though what other formats it recognises, or lengths ... Only my own experiences
Aweome, thanks for the help AllAboutTheCore, for some reason I could not get it to work at all last night, but I just tried again now and.. success.
Thanks again.
If you make a folder called Media and inside of it you place Notifications, Ringtones, Alarms, you will keep them apart. Male sure to initialize a Media rescan or reboot to get them to show in the system picker.

Hi altimax98,
Thanks for the reply. Currently I do have those folders (Alarms, Notifications, Ringtones) but they are all in the /sdcard/ directory. If I move those 3 folders into a "Media" folder... will the phone still be able to see them?
Thanks a lot for your help.

Once you've done this, the tone will show up in the ringtones and message alert tones list to choose from in the usual way (settings).
As for individual contact tones, a ringtone can be assigned from the contacts (People) address book, but not SMS tones as far as I know. There's an app, GoSMS that looks good but I haven't used it so couldn't say for sure.
Hope this helps.

I'm trying to load bespoke notification tones to some of my apps. Most are working, but I can't add a sent mail tone to Outlook or some of my SMS apps. The only option I get when trying to do this is the stock notification tone list, but I can't find a way to add bespoke tones to this list.
Any solutions out there?

If you use an sd card, you can create folders named "Notifications" and "Ringtones" on sd card and put the ringtone/notification files you want to add in them. The phone will find these folders and files will show in lists of choices along with preinstalled options.
(Works on s7 anyway.)
Android can be a fickle beast sometimes, make sure you have the correct format saved in the correct folder. I usually use .ogg saved in notifications for general purpose. To test place them in in notifications/ringtones.
